DNI List 2023 – Basic DNI Criteria with Do Not Interact Examples

A “do not interact” list, often abbreviated as DNI list, is a list of individuals or entities with whom a person or organization chooses not to engage or interact. It is a common practice in various contexts, such as social media platforms, online communities, or customer service settings.

The purpose of a DNI list can vary depending on the situation. Some common reasons for maintaining a DNI list includes online communities, customer service, personal boundaries, networking and relationships. While a DNI list can be useful for managing interactions and maintaining a safe environment, its application should always adhere to ethical and legal standards.

Discrimination based on factors like race, gender, religion, or disability is not acceptable, and DNI lists should not be used to perpetuate harmful biases or discrimination.

Do Not Interact (DNI) Examples

Here are some of the examples of Do Not Interact list following DNI criteria:-

1st Example

I wouldn’t say do not interact, more just shouldn’t interact – because I will either mute/block you, or you will get offended by my opinions”. So you shouldn’t interact if:-

you are a weirdo that thinks I am Yena – I’m not

you want to date me – I’m in a relationship

you are uncomfortable with strong language/swearing

your feminism doesn’t include trans people & sex workers

you are immature/very young

you slutshame/kinkshame/sexshame

you are anti-abortion

you are racist/sexist/transphobic/biphobic

you are anti-lgbtq+

you don’t respect pronouns

…and really, anything that makes your personality not line up with the bare minimum. As for messaging me – feel free, but if all you say is “hi/hi how are you”, our conversation is likely going to end up being blank.

2nd Example

This goes with a few exceptions, but on average, DNI (do not interact) if you fall under 4 or more of these rules (this includes commenting, messaging, sharing, etc.). Please DNI:

• if you are a troll
• if you come to attack my profile and/or my content disrespectfully
• if you cannot have a respectful debate or resort to insults over arguments
• if you use gratuitous or constant cursing (primarily religious profanities)
• if you impose your views on me without proper evidence
• if you are racist, sexist, or just bigoted in general (yes, just because I’m conservative does not mean I am a bigot, despite common belief)
• if you are an anti-theist (different from an atheist)
• if you cannot respect other’s religions or political beliefs
• if you hate me
• if you ask to get into relationships (if I see one of those accounts, I will not follow them back. In fact, I may block them since I am a minor)
• if you ask for nudes
• if you are a pedophile
• if you have blocked me so I cannot respond to your comments on my profile (this will lead to me blocking you; I block back people in most cases)
• if you try to start drama
• You are advertising me to invest in cryptocurrency (scam or not, I will block those who do)
• if you emotionally invalidate others
• if you talk too much about sex
• If you want to be friends because I followed you back (I probably will not block the person, but I most likely will not respond. Many, many people have done it before, and normally I am not interested. There have been some exceptions though 🙂 )
• if you are rude
• if you make jokes that other religions would describe as very blasphemous
• if you post NSFW content or follow NSFW spaces (this almost entirely applies to messages, and exceptions can be made)
• if you are openly communist or fascist to me (this comes with exceptions and whether or not you address me personally about it)
• if you fake disorders or conditions, mental or physical
• if you are a catfish
• if you are a creep
• if you are not genuine
• if you compliment me into chatting with you (rule may not apply if I have had previous interaction with you)
• if you cannot deal with a disagreement and/or thus publicly expose me for it.

Well, that’s about all. Please be mindful of this.

Conclusion
